I started off well but I couldn\u2019t find the fairways after that. It was tough because I never really put myself in a position to get on a roll,\u201d said Lahiri.<\/p>\n<p>Lahiri was in commanding form at the start when he fired two birdies in his opening three holes to extend his overnight lead.<\/p>\n<p>After turning in 35, the 26-year-old picked up another gain on the 14th but a costly double-bogey on the 16th saw him slip down the leaderboard.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wasn\u2019t even close to playing my A game as I was really struggling to find the fairways. But I think I did well given the fact that I didn\u2019t play great and for an average day, I haven\u2019t lost so much ground and I\u2019m still very much in it,\u201d said Lahiri.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile Bjorn will be determined to avoid committing more errors if he wants to win the Omega European Masters for the second time.<\/p>\n<p>The 2011 champion appeared to sign for another flawless round until a bogey on the last hole opened the door for Gallacher to take a share of the second round lead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt wasn\u2019t the prettiest at the end but I played well today. I just kept patient. I told myself not to make any silly bogeys this week and I made one on the last which was the first one,\u201d said the 42-year-old Dane.<\/p>\n<p>Gallacher was also left to rue his only blemish on the 17th which could have otherwise given him the outright lead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was a solid round. I holed some good putts. I will take another two more of those. I hit the ball really good on the front nine and got my just rewards. I holed a couple of decent putts the back nine too but didn\u2019t play that well but I\u2019m in there,\u201d said Gallacher.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;First place is not bad. I\u2019m happy with that. It gives me something to work on over the weekend,&#8221; added the Gallacher.<\/p>\n<p>The Omega European Masters is the only tournament on European soil to be jointly sanctioned by the Asian Tour and European Tour and marks the start of the second half of the Asian Tour season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"images\/golf\/anirban_lahiri.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" alt=\"Lahiri trails by two at Omega European Masters\" style=\"margin-right: 6px;
